Pentax Electronic File (.pef)

The PEF (Pentax Electronic File) is a raw image format used by Pentax digital cameras, storing unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor. This format retains all captured information, offering greater flexibility for post-processing and high-quality image editing. PEF files are similar to other raw formats like CR2 and NEF and are typically edited using specialized software such as Adobe Photoshop or Pentax's Digital Camera Utility.

Flexible Image Transport System (.fits)

The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
